The World Economic Forum in Davos has quite the reputation for gathering industry and policy bigwigs together to discuss serious topics such as the climate crisis, as well as sharing ideas on pressing issues… and listen to weird singing, apparently.
Singer-songwriter Achinoam Nini (also known as Noa) and guitarist Gil Dor, both from Israel, gave a (very) memorable performance on Thursday ahead of a conversation with climate advocate Carla Gomez Briones on the subject of “music as a catalyst for change”.
The bizarre music featuring whistling and almost operatic singing from Noa has since gone viral online, with many wondering exactly what is going on.
“Never thought something would make me not want to be a billionaire,” joked one commenter.
Another wrote: “I’ve listened to this way more times than I am prepared to admit.”
“My favourite part was when it ended,” a third responded bluntly.
Others compared it to a performance from the 1997 film The Fifth Element, while one noted it sounded similar to the viral track “The 7th Element” sung by Russian singer Vitas.
Meanwhile, we're reminded of that weird - and very annoying - Lloyds TSB advert which did the rounds several years ago.
As well as being attended by unusual musicians, this year’s WEF also saw climate activist Greta Thunberg speak as a panellist, using the opportunity to call out the United Arab Emirates over a decision they have taken regarding this year’s United Nations climate change conference – more commonly known as Cop.
The 28th iteration of the event will take place at the end of the year, but its president has been confirmed as Sultan al-Jaber, the boss of Abu Dhabi’s national oil company, or Adnoc for short.
“Lobbyists have been influencing these conferences since forever, and this just puts a very clear face to it. It’s completely ridiculous,” Ms Thunberg said.
It’s hard to believe someone did that on purpose. What the word for stupid+ugly+pointless+stupid again?
I’ll bet even Satan is hiding
Is that what she was playing in the air, too?
No, hers is not a guitar but the very soothing climate propitiation harp of Gaia Herself.
Don't feel bad, most people confuse it for an air guitar at first lolz
Please clap.
It’s memorable, all right. Just not for the reasons the performers probably think it is.
…ahead of a conversation with climate advocate Carla Gomez Briones on the subject of “music as a catalyst for change”.
There are no words to convey the contempt I have for these smug, self-absorbed idiots.
LMAO!! 😂🤣
WEF: clearly an anti-capitalist, Marxist organization. George Soros would be right at home with the party in Davos.
That was very poetical! 🥰😂
Having been to Switzerland I can say they have some very weird cults located there. It’s a fantastic country but maybe something is there in the water.
Contrived, annoying, pretentious, pointless crap. Yuck. I can see why she was picked by the soul-less filthbags at the WEF - like them, she sucks.
If you didn’t see Tucker Carlson last night, his outro from this song was classic.

<>Such a fun movie!<>
It was. I have a bad habit of watching when ever I know it’s on.
Not quite in Howard Hughes territory with Ice Station Zebra, but getting there.
I’ve had the DVD a long, long time, and I think I may have the Blu-Ray now. If I don’t, I’ll probably get it, once I get things sorted out (I’m in the middle of moving).
